2 Claims.

This invention relates to a bracket for use in hanging window curtains, drapes and shades and an object of the invention is to provide a bracket so equipped as to accommodate a shade roller, a

5 window curtain, and side drapes or Valances for the window.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which can be readily and easily mounted on the frame of a window,

and which when mounted can easily be swung to an out-of-the-way position without completely removing the device, and as may be found desirable in the cleaning of a window.

The invention together with its objects and advantages will be best understood from `a study of the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein- Figure 1 is an elevationaLview illustrating the application of the invention. V

Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof, one position of the device being shown in full line and a second position of the device being shown in broken line.

Figure 3 is an elevational view of the device per se.

Figure 4 is a top plan View of the device per se, and

Figures 5 and 6 are sectional views taken substantially on the lines 5 5 and 6 6, respectively of Figure 3.

Referring morein detail to the drawings it will be seen that the window fixture or bracket comprises a substantially U-shaped attaching bracket 5 adapted to be secured to the top rail 4 of a window frame through the medium. of nails, screws or other fastening elements 8.

The upper and lower horizontal arms of the bracket 5 are apertured to provide bearings for a hinge post 'l provided on the upper and lower ends thereof with pintles 9 and l0. An ornamental knob or the like is provided on the pintle l0.

The post l has integral therewith a tubular rod section which telescopically receives a rod section i2 that is integral with the upper end of a post member I3.

Post member I3 on its lower end is provided with an ornamental knob I4 while rod section at one end is provided with an ornamental knob I5 and rod section I2 at one end is provided with an ornamental knob I6.

The rods and |2 are secured at the desired position or" relative adjustment through the medium of a set screw or the like I1.

For cooperation with the bracket 5 for supporting the device on the top rail 4 of the window frame there is provided a hook kI8 that has a shank portion i9 adapted to bey driven into the rail ll of the window frame.

The posts l and i3 have extending therefrom U-shaped arms 2|) and 2|, respectively.4

Supported between the arms 20, 2| is a curtain rod which consists of a pair of telescoping rod sections 22, 22a, rod section 22 having a downturned end 22 that engages in aligned apertures provided in the upper and lower portions of the' arm 2li, while rod section 22a has a down-turned end 22 that engages in aligned apertures provided in the upper and lower portions of the arm 2|.

There is also provided a pair of valanceor side drape rods 24.

Each rod 24 has a down-turned end 25, the down-turned end 25 of one valance rod 24 engaging in aligned apertures provided inthe upper and lower portions of arm 2|?, and the downturned end 25 of the other valance rod 24 engaging in apertures provided therefor in the upper and lower portions of arm 2|. y

To accommodate a shade roller 2l post 'I is provided with a lateral opening 28 to accommodate the cylindrical pintle of the shade roller, while post |3 is provided with a lateral slot 29 to accommodate the squared or rectangular pintle at the opposite end of the shade roller.

Thus it will be seen that with the device prop- `erly mounted on the window frame rail. 4, the same will serve admirably for supporting in proper position with respect to the window a shade roller, a window curtain, and side drapes or Valances.

When it is desired to swing the device to one side all that is. necessary is to raise up on the llrnobend lli and rod section I2 to clear the rod of the hook I8 whereuponI the entire device may 40 -be swung, as suggested in Figure 2, laterally to y one side of the window.

It is thought that a clear understanding of the construction utility and advantages of a window fixture embodying the features of the present i11- vention will be had without a more detailed description.

Having thus described the invention claimed as new is:

1. A window iixture comprising a U-shaped bracket adapted to be mounted'at one side of a window frame, a horizontally arranged rod, a pintle extending upwardly from an end portion of the rod and the upper limb of the bracket havwhat is ing a hole for rotatably receiving the pintle, a l|55 short post depending from the said end part of the rod and having a pintle at its lower end passing through a hole in the lower arm of the bracket, a hook adapted to be connected with the other side of the window frame with its hook part forming a seat for receiving the other end portion of the rod, a short post depending from said other end portion of the rod, one of the short posts having an opening therein for receiving a pintle of a shade roller and the other short post having a holetherein for receiving the other pintle of the shade roller, said rod being formed of two sections with means for adjustably connecting the sections together to permit the space between the two short posts to be adjusted for diierent lengths of shade rollers.

2. A window fixture comprising a U-shaped bracket adapted to be mounted on a window frame at one side thereof and having holes in its limbs, a rod having a pintle at one end part thereof for entering the hole in the upper limb of the bracket, a post depending from said end part of the rod and having a pintle at its lower end for entering the hole in the lower limb of the bracket, a post depending from the other end part of the rod, a hook membermounted on the window frame at the other side thereof, with its hook part forming a seat for the other end of the rod, a substantially U-shaped member for each post and having the ends of its limbs connected with intermediate parts of the post with the member extending outwardly from the post, the limbs of each member having holes therein, and the posts having openings therein for receiving the pintles of a shade roller.
